Stream Finance Loses $93 Million as Stablecoin Crashes to 50 Cents
Stream Finance faces a crisis after an external fund manager reported a $93 million loss, prompting the DeFi platform to suspend all deposits and withdrawals. The incident has sent shockwaves through the ecosystem, with Stream’s stablecoin XUSD plummeting to $0.51—losing half its peg.
Perkins Coie LLP has been enlisted to investigate the missing funds, leveraging the expertise of attorneys Keith Miller and Joseph Cutler in cryptocurrency-related cases. Stream Finance is actively withdrawing liquid assets from its systems, though the timeline for resolution remains unclear.
Over $280 million in loans across multiple platforms are now at risk, as they rely on Stream-related tokens as collateral. The platform’s abrupt operational halt underscores the fragility of decentralized finance mechanisms when faced with liquidity shocks.
